I bin tɔk se di wan dɛn we nɔ mared, gɛt gift ɛn i bin ɛnkɔrej dɛn fɔ lɛf so, if dɛn ebul. (Matyu 19:11, 12) Di apɔsul Pɔl insɛf bin tɔk bɔt di bɛnifit dɛn we pɔsin go gɛt if i nɔ mared. (Fɔs Lɛta Fɔ Kɔrint 7:32-38) Bɔt Jizɔs ɛn Pɔl nɔ bin pas lɔ se pawpa pɔsin nɔ fɔ mared. Di Baybul ivin se ɛnibɔdi we de tich se i nɔ fayn fɔ mared, de tich sɔntin we kɔmɔt frɔm dɛn “dɛbul” dɛn.

Semweso, if pɔsin we de sav Jiova, mared to pɔsin we nɔ de sav Jiova, wetin yu fil se go apin? Dɛn go gɛt bɔku prɔblɛm na dɛn mared-os. If wan pan dɛn want fɔ du wetin Jiova want, bɔt di ɔda wan nɔ de tek dat siriɔs, dis kin mek dɛn gɛt bɔku kɔnfyushɔn ɛn palava na dɛn mared-os. Wetin mek dis kin apin?
